Chapter 162: Senior Sister Takes Action, Vajra Pāramitā Ship
Chapter 162: Senior Sister Takes Action, Vajra Pāramitā Ship
As the closed-door disciple of Yan Yingmu, Graceful Dream Butterfly held a very high status in Miaozhen Temple. At the very least, she could bring an outsider like Ye Rong into the temple without anyone saying anything about it.
If someone who was the Chief of Tianshu Hall in Qingcheng wanted to bring a non-Qingcheng player into the sect, they still had to go through the approval of the elders.
“This is our temple’s unique Taihu Lake Green Bamboo Tea. There’s a limited supply each day. Give it a try.”
An old woman brought two cups of tea, which left Ye Rong staring wide-eyed, and a feeling of envy rose in him.
“Dream Butterfly, you really have great treatment. I’m the Tianshu Hall Chief Disciple of Qingcheng, after all. How come I don’t usually have even a couple of young disciples serving me, bringing tea and water, or massaging my back and waist?”
“Listening to your request, it sounds more like you want two maids to serve you.”
The Long-Legged Lady gave a light smile and pushed the Taihu Lake Green Bamboo Tea in front of Ye Rong.
At first sniff, this cup of tea didn’t have much fragrance and seemed very ordinary. Only the tea leaves inside the cup resembled stalks of green bamboo, making the whole cup look as if a bamboo forest was growing inside. But when he drank it, it tasted like normal tea.
System Notification: First time drinking Taihu Lake Green Bamboo Tea. Randomly caused one of the player’s spells to mutate.
Ye Rong was stunned. He had just taken his first sip when he heard this voice from the system. He immediately opened his personal attributes panel and Player Log to look for the changes.
If this tea could just increase Qi and Blood or True Qi limits, that would be one thing, but it could actually cause a spell to mutate!
“Chongxu Sword Qi is normal, Fluorescence Microscopy Technique is normal, Green Sword Reflection Art is normal… It’s actually the derived spell from the Immovable Wisdom King Sword Art, Kasyapa’s Thousand Hands, that mutated!”
Kasyapa’s Thousand Hands Level 1 (Mutated Derived Spell). Could collect treasures and suppress evil spirits. Had a fifteen percent chance of successfully seizing an opponent’s Flying Sword below the third tier. Could transform into Kasyapa’s Buddha Palm to attack. Attack power changed with the level of Kasyapa’s Thousand Hands.
“Dream Butterfly, this tea is way too precious.”
The mutation of Kasyapa’s Thousand Hands gave it an additional Kasyapa’s Buddha Palm compared to before, allowing it to directly attack and suppress enemies.
If this Taihu Lake Green Bamboo Tea were put on the market, it would definitely become the most sought-after product, with countless Players scrambling to buy it.
“It’s nothing, really. Anyway, it only works the first time you drink it. After that, it’s just ordinary tea, purely for tasting.”
The Long-Legged Lady seemed completely unconcerned and didn’t press him about which spell mutated after drinking the Taihu Lake Green Bamboo Tea or what new effects it had.
“You came here this time saying you had something to ask for my help with. What is it?”
“The Red Chi Dragon in Taihu Lake, this evil dragon has been stirring up trouble around your Miaozhen Temple, overturning fishing boats and devouring villagers every day. Your temple probably has it listed as a target to kill, right? I received a Sect Mission to kill this Red Chi Dragon and retrieve its Inner Elixir to report back. So I came specifically to ask if your Miaozhen Temple has any plans to kill it recently, so I can hitch a ride and gain some advantage.”
Ye Rong looked intently at the Long-Legged Lady. His one-in-a-thousand possibility relied on her being able to invite her sect’s elders to take action.
If he wanted to ask his senior brother Chen Taizhen to act once, it actually required an almost astronomical number of Sect Contribution Points, which was impossible to achieve. He could only hope that a sect like Miaozhen Temple would have different requirements.
“Taihu Lake Red Chi Dragon… You came at just the right time. I just accepted the mission yesterday to accompany the senior sister to exterminate this evil dragon.”
“Great! Can I come along?”
“Coming along isn’t a problem, but you want to take the Red Chi Dragon’s Inner Elixir. How are you going to explain that to the senior sister?”
A sly glint flashed in the Long-Legged Lady’s eyes as she counter-questioned Ye Rong.
“Miss Dream Butterfly, I’m completely at your mercy here. As long as you can help me get the Red Chi Dragon’s Inner Elixir from your senior sister, whatever you command in the future, I’ll definitely come immediately.”
“Alright then, you owe me a huge favor. In the future, if I have anything to entrust to you, you can’t refuse.”
The Long-Legged Lady seemed as if she had succeeded in some scheme, quietly chuckling to herself very happily.
…
“This evil dragon is about to undergo its First Heavenly Tribulation soon. If it passes the Heavenly Tribulation, its strength will multiply. That’s why the senior sister decided to exterminate it.”
According to the Long-Legged Lady, this Red Chi Dragon in Taihu Lake was currently a Level 98 Elite Monster, on the verge of breaking through the hundred-level mark and undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation. Once successful, it would be promoted to a Rare-grade Monster, and its strength would double.
And the helper she invited was, just as Ye Rong expected, that young beauty he had met once, Jiang Xuejun.
“What? You actually met the senior sister and even tried to steal her monster!”
After hearing Ye Rong’s words, the Long-Legged Lady looked at him with a ‘you’re lucky to be alive’ gaze, which made his hair stand on end.
“Heh heh, I didn’t know who she was at the time. A misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding.”
Ye Rong gave an embarrassed laugh, but after hearing the Long-Legged Lady’s subsequent description of her Sister Jiang, he couldn’t laugh anymore.
That Sister Jiang Xuejun hated evil intensely. Not only Demonic Path disciples, but even Heterodox School disciples—she would kill one as soon as she saw one, showing no mercy and asking no reasons.
“Senior sister’s Heavenly Dragon Scissors are a Ninth-Tier Magic Treasure. Ordinary equipment below the Fifth Tier would shatter upon contact, with no possibility of repair. Even Seventh Rank equipment had a thirty percent chance of breaking or being damaged, becoming unusable. The fearsome reputation Miaozhen Temple had among Players in the Taihu Lake area was mostly caused by her alone.”
Hearing this made him break out in a cold sweat. Good thing he identified himself early, having the identity halo of Qingcheng Top Disciple.
Those two golden dragons were actually the Ninth-Tier Magic Treasure Heavenly Dragon Scissors? No wonder that Clam Spirit was instantly killed, without even a bit of resistance.
Some Players, you could kill them once, and they wouldn’t fear or retreat. But if you shattered several of their main equipment pieces at once, that kind of blow would send them straight into the abyss, stripping them of the capital to continue opposing you.
Flying Swords and Magic Treasures with such effects were exactly what Ye Rong had always yearned for, only he hadn’t obtained one.
The Red Chi Dragon always lived deep in the center of Taihu Lake and often moved around. If it were just Ye Rong and Graceful Dream Butterfly, even spending several days, they simply couldn’t find it—their speeds were far inferior to the Red Chi Dragon’s. Even if someone told them its location, it would be useless.
But with Jiang Xuejun present, it was different. The three of them sat in a golden ship, which traveled in the water at a speed exceeding five thousand. Truly swift as the wind and fast as thunder, which made Ye Rong drool with envy.
Now this was a proper ship! Compared to Blood Colored Poppy’s Fifth Tier Pale Moon Boat, it was who knew how many levels higher.
With the Long-Legged Lady as the commentator, Ye Rong avoided being a complete bumpkin and could learn the details of this golden ship—
The Seventh Rank Vajra Pāramitā Ship was modeled after one of the five great warships in Far Shore, the Taiyi Golden Scale Ship. Besides this astonishing speed, its defense was also quite outstanding. It even had onboard weapons—several thunder towers with terrifyingly fearsome killing power.
Just this one warship alone was worth no less than some ordinary Ninth-Tier Magic Treasures. Only Jiang Xuejun, as the heir of Yan Yingmu, was qualified to possess it.
“Does my Qingcheng not have such warships? Definitely not! When I get back, I’ll find a chance to ask Senior Brother Chen Taizhen!”
The more Ye Rong looked at the Vajra Pāramitā Ship’s attributes, the more he liked it. Being a means of transport was merely its basic function; it was practically an invincible killing machine.
“I am the Qingcheng Top Disciple, after all. If I go out without a high-tier ship for transportation, it would really disgrace Qingcheng’s face!”
While Ye Rong was lost in his wild thoughts, the Vajra Pāramitā Ship had already crossed tens of thousands of miles of water villages and charged into the deepest part of Taihu Lake.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xuejun constantly held a dial in her hand. On it was a Sinful Dragon Needle, said to be able to guide towards the location of dragon-type creatures. The stronger the dragon bloodline, the greater the Sinful Dragon Needle’s reaction intensity.
“We’re here! That evil dragon is right ahead!”
The Vajra Pāramitā Ship suddenly halted and stopped. Jiang Xuejun put away the dial and rushed out. Ye Rong and the other followed behind this senior sister, not daring to stray far.
Sure enough, there was a faint, huge shadow slowly moving. Although its specific form wasn’t clear, that nearly hundred-zhang length and terrifying pressure definitely meant it was that Red Chi Dragon!
“You two be careful yourselves. Stand here and watch me exterminate this evil dragon!”
Jiang Xuejun turned her head and spoke, of course mainly addressing the Long-Legged Lady.
“Okay, senior sister, you be careful too.”
“No matter. It’s just a minor dragon that hasn’t achieved anything, hasn’t even passed its Heavenly Tribulation yet!”
Jiang Xuejun’s tone was full of domineering confidence. She stared intently, and from each of her pupils flew out a golden dragon, rapidly extending to several hundred zhang in length. With a thunderous roar, they charged over, completely illuminating this part of the lake bottom.
Ninth-Tier Magic Treasure, Heavenly Dragon Scissors!
These were actually refined from the flesh of a true divine dragon, not a Chi Dragon or Flood Dragon subspecies. Their power was formidable, and they naturally had a certain suppressive effect on dragon-type Monsters.
Under the contrast of the two golden dragons, that originally massive Red Chi Dragon now appeared much smaller and less ferocious.
“Where did this junior come from, daring to disturb this ancestor’s rest!”
A shocking roar echoed, as if the entire lake water shook along with it. Layer upon layer of water waves pushed Ye Rong and the Long-Legged Lady back continuously.
The slumbering Red Chi Dragon was startled awake. In front of it, countless water curtains appeared out of thin air, actually causing the two golden dragons to be slightly hindered.
Truly a powerful subspecies dragon Monster on the verge of passing its Heavenly Tribulation. Its intelligence was also remarkable, already capable of understanding human speech.
